Appointment today

I made this appointment almost a month ago, now the day is here and I am nervous.

I want to discuss the irregular cycles and bleeding that I have had the last two months, and show her the OPK’s that are still not positive (there isn’t even a 2nd line visible). I am even going to print out my temps so that she can see those as well.

Wish me luck & say a prayer.

****UPDATE****

My suspicions were confirmed. She doesn’t think I am ovulating and that I am having anovulatory bleeding. Blood work at my regular doctor has never shown any problems other than being anemic. BUT My midwife still thinks that I have PCOS. The tests that the regular doctor ran would not show the hormones that PCOS testing would look for. She has mentioned this possibility in the past when I have skipped a cycle or two but we have never done any testing to know for sure.

Because of the history and my charting she isn’t ordering blood work. She just prescribed Metformin and Femera.

I will start taking the Metformin right away. Hopefully it will help me lose some weight as well. I was VERY shocked when I saw my weight on the scale today. I told DH that the Femara will help regulate my body … it is not technically a fertility medication. I think he is afraid that if I take “fertility” medication we will end up with multiples which WOULD cause health problems for me since hyperemisis is more common with multiples. I have until CD 3 to decide if I am going to take it or not.

I have a follow up appoint June 25th

I use Period Tracker… you can also track your bbt (which I am absolutely horrible at remembering to take), symptoms, weight, and moods. I got the paid verison so I’m not sure what all the lite/free one does. It also shows your fertile window(or when it should be) and what day you should ovulate and when your next period should be. Also, once you get your BFP you can change it to a pregnancy tracker. You can transfer your charts to your computer so you can print them…

Sorry about the PCOS diagnosis, howeever I was somewhat relieved when I got mine because it gave some answers and a starting point. I have heard Femera has a much lower chance of multiples than Clomid and I’m pretty sure the chance on Clomid is only 8%.
